Room was cute, clean, and had everything we needed! Staff was friendly. We enjoyed the sauna and hot tub as well as the fire pit. The free breakfast was simple but more than adequate.
Light sleepers might be bothered by street noise in the evening and morning (quiet during the night) and cars parking right outside their room if they get a room in the front part of the hotel. We heard the cars but it wasn't a problem for us.

The hotel offered excellent value for the area—reasonably priced, very clean, with nice amenities, convenient on-site parking, and a comfortable bed.
The only (small) drawback is the location, as it is not within walking distance of town or dining options, although the drive into town is very short. Everything else about the stay was very good.

A bit noisy at times from Hey29, but that can’t be helped.

Comfy bed. All of the hot water you could want. Quiet despite being across the road from the railroad tracks. Near town. .Everything was like new. Great decor. Window blinds really shut-out the light.
Microwave was a little persnickety. Have to press stop to get the door to release. Just a bit awkward to get it to do what you want.

Room is spacious. Pressure in the shower is good. Location is close to many wineries.
The A/C was very noisy and despite setting it to the max, it didn't warm up the room enough. Decor is very outdated and the room, while big, doesn't feel cozy. The motel has a lot of potemtial, but in the current conditions does not have any charm.

Great retro motel … in the heart of St. Helena facing a Vineyard.
Had a good night stay after a long day visiting wineries.
Robert Mondavi, Opus One & Camus winery’s close to El Bonita.
Breakfast could be better !

Overall, it was a really great room with inside hot tea/coffee maker, small fridge and microwave with a fairly comfy bed. We had a total of three windows which was awesome, as was the firepit out back and pool with a jacuzzi out front.
Was staying at El Bonita for pre-op prep and to be close to Coon Institute for surgery the following morning. The bathroom shower though beautiful, it hardly had any water pressure to feel decently clean and there weren't but a very few places there to hang multiple towels out to dry. It is on a noisy street that quiets later in the evening.

The hot tub and pool were really nice. The room was okay.
I wasn't able to watch Hulu from my phone to the TV. I also think they should have a different kind of coffee. It was so strong I couldn't drink it. I didn't like the slats on the door. The light was coming through.

Shower
Over priced by allot !!, staff was rude as soon as I walked in the door told me to go sit down!! The Spa was nasty , need to be cleaned badly the pool was ok I guess but the shower was very nice though, room smelled like pant very strongly the bed was like a gym mat material like the ones in high school, I worked 16 hours so I could’ve slept on the floor and not known the difference so I can really say how comfortable the bed was any ways if the whole town wasn’t sold out I would stayed at a much nicer place for the same price ! Very disappointed

The price. It was a old motel that should have cost 150. And the night rate was 450.

Spacious room with a comfy chair (really important). Well equipped with Aircon; Microwave and coffee machine. Smallish but adequate bathroom with nice towels and cleaning products, Plenty of power in the shower.
Light breakfast with some fresh fruit, so healthy.
Very well located for top wineries - possible to walk to Hall and Inglenook and also local restaurants
Aircon is unavoidably a little noisy. Refrigerator was also quite noisy. Some traffic noise as close to main road through St Helena

The style of the property and rooms, classy comforable, great value
Nothing, I was expecting a somewhat "tired" non-brand name motel, but was very satisfied with the entire property in what would otherwise be an expensive one nigt stay.

Loved loved the location! The rooms were freshly renovated, which made the place feel clean. Also, no carpet which is great for people with pets, plus nice grassy area in the back, also ideal for pets. Cozy fire pit in back too. Friendly staff!
Bathroom sink has no real counter space.

Breakfast was terribly basic. I wouldn’t include that as a positive point of the hotel.

Noisy, literally on the highway. Did not sleep at all, although bedding was very comfortable. I should’ve known better. about the noise. My bad…

The room was very clean. Noticed a lot of attention to detail with workers on the property painting, landscaping very good.
The continental breakfast was standard. the outside seating area with a waterfall was excellent. A retro art deco motel was refreshing to see. The swimming pool ( heated above 80 degrees and very clean with an adjacent hot tub next to a sauna was a pleasant surprise. Parking is close to our unit. king bed and a patio newly landscaped was a pleasant surprise. The cost was hundreds of dollars less than adjacent inns etc. Good location can walk to some of the wineries.
Its not perfect but the owners are keeping the motel with ample landscaping, trees walkways tables benches to make the motel a good choice for budget minded people.
We paid for a King bed unit deluxe which included a patio and chairs. When assigned a room we noticed no rear patio
only a front door directly in front of our unit. Went back to check in and after some brief conversation the owner was contacted by phone and we were assigned the unit we paid for.
They have a building called the garden rooms but no garden or patio in line with what our reservations stated. The 3 story building called Homestead all bottom floors have rear patios and a garden view . For the price half on other inns in the area is well worth it. No complaints.

Nice interior. Pretty quiet at night which I really appreciated since I stayed for work, and I had to wake up pretty early. The hotel continental breakfast was better than I thought. Love the fresh fruits. Walking distance to restaurants and grocery with a nice view along the way.
The bedsheet had rough surface. Doesn’t bother me too much, but I think some bedsheet needs replacement.

The room was updated Retro Chic, had a table with chairs for eating etc, plus a big comfortable chair to relax in, along with the normal amenities. WE loved going to the pool and hot tub both days we were there which was really beautiful area and relaxing. The location was great, just several blocks or so from downtown St. Helena and convenient to shopping, wineries etc. We enjoyed the simple breakfast items plus coffee and juice, fruit in the mornings. This was a nice surprise!
The lights in the bathroom were really tricky to turn off and on, so we ended up using the mirror light the most, but were fine.

The room was beautifully decorated, fresh and clean. Loved the spa and heated pool. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Great location, beautiful grounds, and a fire pit. Even the continental breakfast exceeded our expectations!
Hmm, not coming up with anything. That I'm not still there!

Renovated rooms, easy free parking, continental breakfast.
No hangers in the rooms! None available. At $470 a night, you think you would have hangers. Asked for two extra pillows and front desk grumpy guy said he didn’t have any. The sweet housekeeper found us some.
